  1. I am looking for a nice, wooden watch box for about 6-8 watches. There are many nice and affordable boxes on Amazon, for example, but there is a problem. I have a fairly small wrist and need a box with soft cushions that give in easily. Without seeing these boxes in person, I can never be sure how soft their cushions are. I used to have a nice box that, sadly, had very stiff cushion that put way too much pressure on my bracelets. Has any of you come across a box might suit me?
  2. I am not sure what tools Microsoft supplies for the creation of gadgets but the next Xcode from Apple includes some nice widget creation tools. It should be out along with OS X 10.5 and I am sure some of us will play around with it a bit. I agree, a nice Panerai skin would be sweet.
  3. The oil change is an interesting topic. The 300,000 mile truck guy was surely one of the luckiest men in the world. I used to have Pontiac that I would bring for all schedule maintenances and oil changes but after 85,000 miles there were so many little problems popping up everywhere that I have decided to get rid of it. The American cars were never known for their reliability but my friend's '95 Ford Escort has 280,000 miles on it and still works like a Swiss watch. The 3,000 miles oil change is largely a creation of the oil industry, indeed. I believe that Toyota (and we can hardly say anything bad about the reliability of Toyotas and Hondas) recommends an oil change after the first 1,000 miles and then after each 7,500. Mercedes and BMW tells you to change only when their sensors go off or once a year. I've heard of a study which determined that with 10,000 miles oil change wear and tear is small enough that some manufacturers pick that over a more frequent oil change as a convenience for a customer. That said, every mechanical device will wear, and wear faster without a proper lubrication. Your hard drive's heads, platters, and electronics might work for a decade but its bearings will most likely wear out much sooner than that.
  4. Why thank you. I must say, I was partially inspired by thorough reviews by By-Tor.
  5. I know what you mean. It might be a tad frustrating to newbs like us. Here are a few leads that will get you started: Andrew - www.ttwristwatch.com Joshua - www.perfect-clones.com King - www.cclv.net Davidsen - davidsenjpn@yahoo.com
  6. Greetings everyone, I've been lurking around several replica forums since December and decided to settle down here. I hope you are nice to newbs and soon will treat me as one of you. As far as replicas go, I've got Planet Ocean 45mm Ultimate, Seamaster Pro with Swiss, TAG Link Chrono - all from Andrew - and now PAM 111H with Swiss Swan Neck on order from Joshua.
